Using a BasicStamp to read from LM73 using I2C, but just getting all

I have used this device in multiple designs and it works fine. I suggest looking at your I2C code.

Hmm... I have pull ups on both SDA and SCLK lines. Does SCLK need a
pullup? Did you set the pointer register before reading the temp? Did
you use an internal address along with the devices's slave address?
The spec says it powers up pointing to the temperature register, so I
give it the slave address byte and then read back the temp. But
nothing but 1s. I haven't put a scope or analyzer on it yet to see
whats up.
If your familiar with PBasic, here's code:

LM73read CON %10010011 ' I2C address
I2Cpin CON 0 ' P0->Sdata,P1->SCLK
tempIn VAR Word ' 16 bit word from LM73

' read 2 bytes (16 bits) from LM73 into WORD tempIn:
I2CIN I2Cpin,LM73read,[tempIn.HIGHBYTE, tempIn.LOWBYTE ]


The required pullup in I2C depends on the capacitive loading of the bus, and yes both SCK and SDA should be pulled up for standard devices. What value pullups do you have? An incorrect pullup value will certainly make things fail at fullspeed.
